Bear-Faced CowAside from the fact that rides are perceivably lower in volume than crashes, you also listed the three libraries in which everything is recorded unprocessed.
It is not wildly unbalanced. It is recorded as natural as possible with all of the transients in place. This is what drum mixing is all about: getting everything in balance.

Thanked by: BradBear-Faced CowIt’s not Logic or Superior Drummer. I’ve been using the latest version of both without any issues. You should check your CoreAudio settings. The last two issues are definitely more of an indication that something is going wrong in either your computer or OS.

Bear-Faced CowMust be some interaction between EZ Drummer and Ableton. Not seeing this issue with Live Loops mode in Logic.

Bear-Faced CowThere are many variations within the “In Trouble” song. There are also sidestick grooves and tom grooves alongside the snare grooves. It’s quite the variety.
As for the Song Creator, there is no right on wrong with it. It sort of does what it thinks you might like from the groove you dragged on to it. The way I see it, you either may find new ideas with it or you might hate what it came up with. For me, it’s just a quick way to come up with a song idea and for me, I bound to change my mind as much as my underwear. The bottom like is that they just ideas and if you don’t like it, change it. Feel free to grab something from the song folder than you like or from another song folder and see where it takes. It’s all about the music.

Thanked by: shopBear-Faced CowRecording handclaps or tambourines is really no different than any other kit piece. Only consideration is that they are future hit instruments where drums are not.

Bear-Faced CowAre you listening to the grooves at their original tempo? The first demo that you are mentioning is a variation based on the grooves in “In Trouble” and at the original tempo, it matches up rather accurately.
Quite often the demos will extend the basic grooves provided, but it is not too difficult to spot which grooves when listening to them in context. As well, for that particular song, you will find many variations on the song parts.

Bear-Faced CowMy apologies for not being explicit enough. Lack of sleep this past weekend. Maintaining output routings will keep the routings when you change presets. Load parts will load different routings onto an existing preset. So all depending on whether you want to change presets and keep the routing you are using, or whether you want to import the routing from a different presets will dictate the functionality that you will use. Hopefully that helps.

Thanked by: drumjack52Bear-Faced CowThe standalone is just a wrapper for the plug-in. Run it inside something like Mainstage or Gig Performer to get the buffer size you want.

Thanked by: joelk_1Bear-Faced CowThey are not accomplishing the same thing. One of them is keeping your mixer routing as you change presets while the other is loading in a mixer routing into an existing preset. It’s difference, and I would go as far to say value, is probably not apparent to you since you don’t mix inside Superior Drummer.

Bear-Faced CowThen use something like Superior Drummer, where you can control the envelope of the toms. There is no generic one-size-fits-all. Drum recording is as individual as the producers themselves. You need to align yourself with one that suits your song best.
